Incorporating spare blocks


Here is a comfort quilt that incorporates a few 12" blocks that I had picked up in a guild fabric auction.

A simple stitch using a walking foot along the block diagonals, along with a slight curve around the perimeter of the quilt provide all the needed quilting to keep the top and polar fleece backing together.

One guild member mentioned that she frequently sees piles of quilt blocks at her church bazaars, and at garage sales. What a perfect opportunity to rescue some old blocks and give them a wonderful home. Bring these blocks to a RNQG meeting, and they will be on their way to a new home.
